Own Your Own Dream Ranch! 20 minutes outside of Monticello, Utah - 160 Acres fenced and cross fenced
$320,000
This serene ranch features a beautiful 2,240 sf log home nestled amongst gorgeous views in all directions. The 2 bedroom / 2 bath home was built in 2003 and includes a large great room with vaulted ceilings and an 800 sf upstairs loft. Custom made quaking aspen cabinetry is found throughout the home and the master bathroom has a jetted tub. The floors are finished with sealed pine plank flooring taken off the local mountain! Underneath the home is a full 4 foot high crawl space that can be used for storage. The home is hooked up to a pressurized rural water line and has a 1500 gallon backup underground concrete water supply. The home is heated by propane heaters and is equipped with a huge Pioneer made wood Cookstove. The home has full length covered porches on both sides and in the morning you can watch the breathtaking sunrise peaking over the Colorado Rockies, and in the evenings you can watch some very brilliant sunsets over the Utah/Arizona Desert. This area is teaming with a variety of wildlife such as elk, deer, wild turkey, birds, rabbits, squirrels, and you name it! 90 acres are fenced and covered with juniper/pinion trees and sage brush and include a pond, grass, and wild flowers spread throughout. 40 Acres are fenced and planted in Alfalfa/Grass mix and an additional 30 acres are also planted in Alfalfa/grass but not fenced. Outbuildings include an 84' x 40' thirteen stall barn with tack room (or shop/equipment shed, etc..) and a 4 bay open garage.
Six months of the year, the weather is ideal for riding horses or ATVs right from the ranch into the BLM land only one mile away. From there you can explore 42 miles of mining roads, trails and Indian ruins in the same wild lands that include Monument Valley and the Mesa Verde National Park. During the hottest months, when the temperatures reach the low 90's, you can trailer 20 minutes to the National Forest and ride from there up to 11,000 feet, where you can see hundreds of miles over 4 states at a time. Here you can ride amid pristine lakes stocked with fish and find snow banks hidden in the shade of magnificent pine trees and quakies even in July and August. During the chilly winter months you can trailer an hour south, dropping several thousand feet in elevation, and enjoy the sandy retreats of Arizona and New Mexico. Possibilities here are endless for Outdoor Enthusiasts!
don't let the acreage scare you away! If you don't want to ranch or farm the land, it can be leased to local farmers to pay your taxes and provide additional income - all while you are living in the middle of our country's greatest outdoor mecca!
